HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MK-7 Vitamin K-2 100 mcg by NOW

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Oct 1, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This supplement contains one active ingredient: vitamin K2, a form of vitamin K at 100 micrograms per capsule. The remaining ingredients — rice flour, hypromellose, ascorbyl palmitate, and silicon dioxide — are inactive excipients that help form and preserve the capsule.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: bone health and cardiovascular support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Hemorrhagic disease, Hypoprothrombinemia, Osteoporosis, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD), Warfarin anticoagulation — and 2 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin K is rated "Effective" for Hemorrhagic disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Effective" for Hypoprothrombinemia, Warfarin anticoagulation, Vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiency (VKCFD).
  • Also on file: Vitamin K is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoporosis.

Vitamin K2 is rated effective for correcting vitamin K-dependent clotting factor deficiency, hypoprothrombinemia (low clotting factor levels), hemorrhagic disease (bleeding disease), and maintaining warfarin's anticoagulation when intake is consistent. For osteoporosis, the evidence is rated possibly effective — there's some promise, but we'd need more research to say how well it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Taken by mouth, vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are mild: nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and abdominal pain.

Serious adverse effects are rare. Because dietary vitamin K amounts are fine but supplements warrant a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first, talk with your provider before starting this product — especially if you're on any blood-thinning medication.

Vitamin K2 is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vitamin K

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Vitamin K.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 2 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any blood thinners, particularly warfarin (Coumadin). Vitamin K can reduce how well these drugs work, and your dose may need adjustment.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This supplement is appropriate for people who need to maintain adequate vitamin K levels or support bone health, but anyone on a blood thinner — especially warfarin — should check with their doctor or pharmacist before taking it. Even if you're not on medication, a quick conversation with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement is always a smart move.

What is vitamin K2 used for?
This form of vitamin K supports blood clotting and clotting factor production, and there's some evidence it may help with bone health. If you have a specific health goal in mind, talk with your doctor about whether this supplement is right for you.
Do I need to take this every day?
That depends on why you're taking it and your doctor's recommendation. Consistency matters, especially if you're on a blood thinner — even small changes in vitamin K intake can affect how your medication works.
